Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As you know, I am taking on this ridiculous challenge in aid of a very good cause.

The simple task of conquering Scafell (7/6) Snowdon (28/6) and Ben Nevis (23/8) is nothing compared to the terrible thing that meningitis is.  I shall be accompanied by my good friend and also soon to be 50 Neil Weaver. It seemed to be a terribly good idea at the time and i thought we might aswell raise a few bob for a most worthy charity. Updates on our progress will be appearing on here if i have the energy or indeed survive.

Right thats it, its done. Ben nevis scaled on 23rd August. the ascent was accomplished in a mere 3 hours and the descent in 2. can i just say never again, i take my hat off to the lads and ladies who do the 3 peaks in 24 hours. Thank you all once again for your very generous contributions to what is a very worthy cause. Those of you who have not yet donated please do not panic as the site remains open until Nov 2009, you know who you are.

I would also like to thank Eggy for setting the page up for me and setting the target, which looks almost as high as any of the peaks to scaled, but i do love a challenge. Also added to the thanks column, my daughter Faye. Its her fault you can now view my less than attractive image on here.Thank you for all your donations.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Meningitis UK will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.
